A friend of mine just hired Room Full of Blues, for his wedding, for $6500.  Of course they don't have to travel far and don't need to spend the night. It is a Saturday and short notice. I thought he did well.

Crosby & Nash are a bargain for 35-50K!  :thumb:

13 years ago I hired a harpist to play at our wedding (prelude, postlude, and reception), $300.  She drove 3 miles from the nearby college, but was flakily to set the arrangements (contact's fault, not her's).  She was small, but hoisted that thing in and out of the big old station wagon like you wouldn't believe.  Of course I had almost no idea what pieces to request, but it worked out perfectly (in her mind it ended up with me paying her to drive over to practice at our church).  I really liked the atmosphere it set for the wedding and simple church reception (where people could communicate without texting or shouting).

My wedding DJ is on there.  It was half the low end of the range they have.

Where's Pink Floyd and The Who?  They are two of my favorites.
1 million for Madonna?  I don't think so.  Does 50 Cent charge
50 cents?
